Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the L200 200W TC Kit with Z Subohm Tank from Geekvape. The L200 200W TC Kit with Z Subohm Tank was supplied for the purpose of this review by Allison from Geekvape.
Geekvape L200
Introduction
Geekvape have become known over the last 4 and half years for their IP67 Aegis devices and leak resistance Zeus range of atomizers and I must admit if I was reviewing this Kit a few months ago one con would of been "not yet another Aegis" but as Geekvape have now started releasing the Obselik range and this see's many updates then I will let that one go!
The L200 AKA The Legend 2 is the updated version of the mega selling Aegis Legend which was released 4 years ago and still selling well. The Legend 2 is both smaller and lighter using more plastic on the device yet claims to have even better shock proofing, the Legend 2 also has an IP68 rating which means it can be submerged in water for even longer than the previous IP67 Aegis devices while still having the maximum dust ingress protection. We also see a Type C USB Port and improved flip open seal as well as a larger, sharper display!
In this kit we see the L200 (Legend 2) teamed up with the Z Subohm tank which apart from a new logo and branding is basically the Zeus Subohm Tank with updated larger airflow slots but apart from that and as mentioned the rebranding as in new logo on the chamber etc it looks and performed pretty much the same apart from allowing for more airflow.
This is a cracking high performing kit with just a few annoying cons so to find out more let's crack on!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Legend 2 Kit came in usual cardboard box packaging with outer cardboard sleeve which had a picture in the chosen colour on the front and contents etc on the reverse. On opening i found the legend 2 proudly on display in the top layer with the Z subohm tank and other accessories below. I received the Rainbow version which was paired with a Rainbow tank, the options are Stainless Steel, Gunmetal, Black, Blue, Gold, Rainbow or Red.
The Legend 2 has a mainly plastic body which I must admit on my Rainbow version they did a good job given it an anaesthetic look to match the metal brackets almost giving it an all metal look! So the sides consists of the plastic main frame, the metal bracket which sweeps both sides and also both sides has "GEEKVAPE" embossed into the metal. The spine has a heavily padded leather section then moving to the tinted front plastic panel we have a light switch style fire button top and horizontally position double switch rocker bottom, between is the screen. The front also has rubber cut corner sections top and bottom with the top one being the seal for the Type C USB port.
Moving to the top and like on the Obelisk instead of having a 510 plate we have the whole top surface brushed Stainless Steel with the threading directly drilled into the Stainless Steel top, the 510 is Gold plated and spring loaded, it has a stiff but above average throw, very nice!
Moving to the bottom we have the rubberised hatch door with etched safety stamps and a metal release catch! With the device having a mainly plastic body and the lack of a rubberised shell the Legend 2 is less busy and looks slicker as well as being both smaller and lighter making it really good ergonomically to carry about and use in comfort!

Z Subohm Tank Various Parts
Starting at the top we have a wide bore goon fit delrin 810 drip tip which can be swapped for one of your own if you prefer. The top-cap is the usual bayonet design so just a slight turn needed and it's off, the base section also screws off. The glass can be wiggled free as it's secured top and bottom with O-rings you receive a spare bubble glass with the standard version and straight 2ml glass with the TPD version. The airflow control ring can also be easily removed (in fact too easily) which leaves the juice port and airflow intake section with attached double walled chamber. The coils get press fitted into the chamber and the base section has a positive plate for the bottom of the coil to make contact with. We get all the usual spare O-rings and also a coil removal tool which is a nice touch but personally I didn't find any need for it.
_________________________________________________________________________
The Airflow
The Z Sub-ohm Tank has a top to bottom airflow system with large dual airflow slots that are fully adjustable, this is the only performance upgrade I can see from the Zeus Subohm tank which has slightly smaller airflow slots. You also have a double walled chamber so the air comes in through the slots, down the cavity between the two chamber walls and into the base section. Now we have the air in the base section just as you would if the tank had bottom airflow slots and this air enters the coil head from underneath in the usual manner giving bottom airflow, it's just taking the top to bottom airflow concept of the Zeus RTA's and implementing it in the least complicated way. I don't like to say leakproof but the system gives the Z Sub-ohm tank the same leak resistance that we have seen with past Zeus tanks.
_________________________________________________________________________
The Coils and Fitting Them
The Z Subohm tank has 2 included coils which are both kanthal mesh. Pre-installed we have the 0.2ohm Mesh single coil head which is rated between 70-80W. The other included coil is the 0.25 dual coil head which has a rating between 45-57W, the specs are etched onto the coil head shells.
The mesh is more of a Netting style giving plenty of surface area with large gaps between so wicking will be no issue, the coils also have 4 very large wicking ports.
The coil head simply gets press fitted into the chamber and pulled out to remove, if you have any problems pulling the coil head out you do receive a tool to help but I have had no issues. Looking on the chamber we can see 2 large wicking ports to allow e-liquid to surround the coil head as the chambers main purpose was to deliver airflow from the top to the bottom and having plug in coils is cleverly taking advantage of having the chamber present. We also have 2 protruding tabs on the coil heads and little indents on the side of the chamber, these tabs need to be lined up for the coil to be properly fitted!

Filling The Tank
Just like with the Zeus Subohm tank which really this is with just larger airflow slots the airflow control ring is too loose which seems a petty con but it is annoying because i both like some resistance (there is none) and it also sometimes pops off when removing the top-cap for filling, although it's loose at least we do have stoppers!
The top-cap is less than half a turn and it's off, it's the same bayonet design Geekvape have used on previously Zeus atomisers. Once off the 2 kidney shaped fill ports are revealed which are quite narrow so large nozzles and glass droppers won't fit but most standard nozzles will be fine. Luckily there is quite a deep channel between the edge of the tank and air pipe section so it won't be messy if using larger nozzles as any juice will gather in the channel and find it's way into the ports. Once filled just position the bayonet tabs in place push down and give it a slight turn.
